The non-tweedy tweed thread

Many here like tweed. Some of them live in cities, and/or are under 87, and/or don't like looking like extras from All Creatures Great and Small. I think it's also desirable to avoid Pitti-esque looks. So, let's collect a few pictures for inspiration purposes. The ensembles posted need not be perfect, so long as they provide some interesting ideas for how to wear tweed in non-costumey ways. I'll start:

Interestingly, it seems to me that all the above ensembles look/would have looked better without pocket squares.

Okay. I guess I live in a city where tweed is a regular feature... so I am not sure what you mean about the "costumey ways". Unless people are trying to look like us again -- Williamsburg, NY... I am looking at you. The photos are about what you'd find on the street here -- 'cept more Peruvian knit hats and gloves. In fact it being March, a good tweed jacket would be an excellent choice out and around the lakes in the pub today (or being St. Patricks) .

I just purchased a tweed suit w/ moleskin waistcoat from Walker Slater of Edinburgh, Scotland. It will be here on Monday.

The reason I post this here is that I believe that they are taking classic tweed and making it work for 25-45 years olds. If you are looking for a more modern cut tweed item this might be a good store for you to check out. You might find a piece that you can use in a non-traditional setting.
